Creating lesson...
1
Hi Vogue friends, it's Hailey and I'm in Paris tonight getting ready to go to my road party.
2
I'm super excited so I'm going to walk you guys through how I prep my skin before I get my makeup done.
3
So starting off I always go in road glazing milk.
4
You already know.
5
I like to do a pretty generous amount of this because it just soaks right into the skin
6
and gets the skin really dewy and hydrated and glazed.
7
And I feel like it really helps all of my other products sink in that I put on top of it.
8
So starting with that, Next I go in with the peptide glazing fluid
9
Probably do like four pumps.
10
these layers so nicely together and are just really really lovely prep for the skin Bye.
11
Take it down all the way to the chest and the neck.
12
On top, Berry Restore Cream.
13
Always, it's a fresh bottle.
14
I always like to do a more rich cream when I'm going to get my makeup done.
15
If you know, you know.
16
I love the Walida Skin Food.
17
And it's so creamy and rich, so you really only need a tiny bit in the areas
18
where I feel like I get a little bit more dry under my makeup.
19
And for me, that's around the nose.
20
that's under the eyes.
21
My eyes are really sensitive especially when I sleep They tear up and they get irritated, so I feel like this actually really helps me a lot.
22
Okay.
23
Thank you. with that.
24
you It's so...
25
juicy and dewy
26
So one trick
27
that I like to do sometimes is I like to go
28
over the top of all the skincare I just layered one more time with the glazing milk
29
but I like to take like a really sheer...
30
Glowy highlighter or glow drops.
31
These are the Chanel ones, the Healthy glow highlighting fluid.
32
So what I do is I take the glazing milk a couple drops in my hand
33
and then do like two pumps of a healthy glow like one more drop and then mix that up.
34
I do this for my body as well.
35
I'm basically just Work that into the skin and it gives such a healthy natural I See that difference?
36
Because now you have the actual glow in there from the highlight. So nice. So nice.
37
Can't forget about the lips.
38
I'm gonna grab, I'll just figure out these.
39
Peptide Lip Treatment, this one is in Salted Caramel.
40
We just launched our tinted, lip treatments today so I'm really excited
41
that is a big part of what we're celebrating tonight as long as well as launching here in France today.
42
Bye.
43
gotta make sure the lips are nice and juicy.
44
Okay and last thing I like to do because It just feels nice.
45
brush up my brows Get them ready for makeup.
46
And there you have it.
47
That is how I prep my skin for my makeup.
48
When I'm doing my own makeup and when I'm about to get my makeup done, usually if I had some more time and I wasn't rushing to get ready,
49
I would probably do a mask and maybe like an under eye mask to prep the skin. But...
50
This is my go -to step -by -step skin prep.
51
So I hope you enjoyed this.
52
Thank you for watching and I'll see you next time.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This video featuring Hailey Bieber's skincare routine provides an engaging context for English learners to practice their speaking skills. By watching her detailed explanation of her skincare preparation, learners are exposed to natural spoken English, allowing them to pick up on intonation, rhythm, and casual conversational structures. Engaging with this content through a shadowing app can significantly boost your English fluency. As you mimic Hailey's speech, you not only improve your pronunciation but also gain confidence in speaking. Furthermore, practicing the specific vocabulary associated with skincare creates an excellent opportunity for learners to develop their language skills in a niche area that may aid future conversations.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Hailey utilizes a variety of grammatical structures and expressions that are useful for English learners:

  • “I always go in with..." - This structure emphasizes habitual actions, making it a good phrase to incorporate into discussions about daily routines.
  • “I probably do...” - This phrase indicates an estimation, which is useful for learners to express uncertainty or to make suggestions casually.
  • “Take it down all the way to...” - This expression can help learners understand how to give instructions clearly and effectively, an essential skill in both casual and formal speaking contexts.
  • “I like to do…” - An excellent way to share personal preferences, which is important for building conversational skills.
  • “Can’t forget about…” - This phrase adds a colloquial feel to speaking. Using it helps softens commands, making interactions more friendly.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While watching Hailey's video, learners may encounter some tricky words and pronunciation challenges:

  • “Glazing” - The soft ‘g’ sound at the beginning can be confused with a harder ‘g’ by non-native speakers, so it is valuable to practice this word in isolation.
  • “Hydrated” - Pay attention to the pronunciation of the vowel sounds to ensure clarity, especially when incorporating it into sentences.
  • “Peptide” and “treatment” - These words contain consonant clusters that may trip up learners. Breaking them down into syllables can aid in mastering their sounds.

For those preparing for the IELTS speaking practice, paying attention to these nuances in pronunciation can significantly enhance your performance in speaking assessments. By using tools like shadowspeak to mimic and practice these phrases, you can improve your English pronunciation effectively.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
